Liverpool’s Mohamed Salah has been linked with a move to Real Madrid.
Sky Sports pundit Guillem Balague provided an update on the future of Liverpool ace Mohamed Salah, claiming that Real Madrid will prioritise the signing of Chelsea star Eden Hazard in the summer instead of the Egyptian.
According to the Daily Star, Los Blancos are keen on signing Salah before the start of next season, with a £150 million deal being mooted for the speedster.
Reds fans will be extremely worried about rumours linking their star man with an exit from Anfield, but they will take solace in Balague’s latest update on the 36-goal forward.
The well-renowned Spanish pundit told Sky Sports how Madrid will focus their attention on signing Hazard in the summer rather than Salah:
“Salah is a difficult one because Real Madrid have no mention of him as a candidate to be a Galactico. You can think there is a market in Egypt and he is a star of the Premier League – he has a lot of things to go for him – but if they get Hazard they won’t need Salah.”
The 25-year-old has been an absolute revelation for the Merseysiders since moving to Anfield from Roma in the summer, scoring 36 goals in 41 appearances in all competitions this season.
Jürgen Klopp is on the verge of building something very special at Liverpool, and keeping hold of Salah will be pivotal to their hopes of achieving success over the course of the next few years.
Whilst rumours linking Madrid with the Egypt international will be a concern for Reds fans, Balague’s words should at least ease their fears.
